How Washer Overflow Cleanup Works in Fort Shaw

The crew's job is the water: pumping, cleaning and drying so the conditions for mold go away. Readings that return to the dry reference show the moisture is gone.

1. Pump out the standing water

   The crew sets submersible pumps and extraction wands where the water is deepest. The technician confirms the supply is closed and the power is safe before any equipment is plugged in.

2. Map the moisture

   Readings are taken in a grid, not in one spot. A grid shows the edge of the wet zone and gives later visits the same places to compare.

3. Clean and pull what cannot dry

   Swollen baseboard and the bottom strip of soaked drywall are cut out cleanly. The crew takes out only what the readings show will not dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Wet materials can start growing mold within 24 to 48 hours, so the first day of equipment matters. The daily readings show the moisture falling.
